From this moment order was established. At oleven minutes to seven, Aaron having firat shied in bis castor, entered tho ring with his seconds and was creeted by enthusiastic cheering from his friends, He sat ona stool, aa umbrelia being held over h's head to shelt r him from the increasing heat of the sun He looked the picture of confidence and gayly shook bands and chatted with his friends about him Mean. time Colyer sat some —distancs outside the ring, looking very grave; but with no look of anvery in his face, All tho preliminaries having beon satis‘actorily arraned, ho entered tho ring at twenty minntes to eight, likewise giving his castor a toasa ter his usual style, his seconds bearing him company, ‘Another burst of cheers greeted his appearance; but from other lips of courve twenty minutes.

The fight lasted two hours and five m‘nutos, and con- ‘tinued through forty-seven rounds, Colyer won a handsome and decisive victory rover his antagonist, and for his pluck, endur- vance, and manly and square stand up way of Aghting, richly merits his newly acquired honors. From the beginning to the vory close of the fight odds were largely against him, owing to the woll known greater experience in the ring and superior skill of Aaron. His indomitable pluck and greater power of endurance alone gave him the victory. This match, as will bo remembered, was made five ‘weeks ago, Aaron had been wearing uniisputed his qurels a8 champion of light weights for years, and in ‘tho past four years had not shown himself in the ring. It is true he bad been challenged by several aspirants to ‘snatch his honors from him, but none came to the po sire when the fighting time arrived, preferring to pay forfeit. Colyer, succeeding his recent brilliant and victoriors encounter at the White House, on the Potomac, with Bolster, determined to strike at higher game, and the result was his sending achallenge to Aaron, which mot with prompt acceptance. The match was mad at Baltimore and the stakes (five hundred dollars a side) were duly put up and all the preliminaries arranged at ‘Will Roward’s place, in South Bond streot, Aaron's headquarters were in Fayetto street, near Baltimore street.
